I drank a bottle of 1990 to other day, it was amazing, and was going to peak within the year. So, it can sit around for a while longer, but would be good now too. The tannins will go out of it in a few more years, but to get specifics you should call the winery and see how that one is holding up. They might still be selling it, which means they will be tasting it and should know how it has aged.
Asker's Rating:
• good answer, good advice.

Red wines you want to served at room temperature and you want to let them "breathe" (pop the cork and let it sit) for at least 20 minutes before drinking.

right, as a general rule for all red wines.

any idea on this specific one, and specific years on when it'll peak?
